In 1949, world-famous explorers Aaron Garner and Robert Walters set out on an expedition to the icy regions of the north. Armed with little more than camping gear and crude filming equipment, the two men began their three week trek to the North Pole.

They were never heard from again.

26 years later, just 3.2 kilometers south of the North Pole, a government sanctioned expedition uncovered gear left behind by Garner—including a frozen diary, a shovel handle, and a film camera containing the footage seen on this site.

The footage was confiscated by the U.S. Government and immediately locked away from any public viewing. Now, after nearly 40 years of litigation by the Garner Estate and due to the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of passing The Freedom of Information Act, the footage has finally been made public, giving the world their first chance to ask two questions:

1. What did Aaron Garner catch on film at the North Pole four decades ago?

2. Why did the government want to cover it up?

Representatives of the Garner Estate refuse to comment on or endorse any theories or conclusions implied by the images found in this footage.
